Abstract
A textile glide comprises a layer of fiber material having first and second opposite generally flat faces. Low friction material is integrated with the layer of fiber material so as to have a friction reducing effect on at least one of the first and second faces.
Description
- Priority is claimed to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/575,399 filed Jun. 1, 2004. The entire disclosure of this prior application is considered as being part of the disclosure of the accompanying application and is hereby expressly incorporated by reference herewith.
- The present invention generally relates to glides, in particular but not exclusively floor glides for furniture and other heavy objects and glides for the protection of small objects such as trinkets displayed on a supporting surface. More specifically, the present invention relates to a sheet of textile material to which a low friction material is integrated.
- Moving large and heavy objects such as furniture may be difficult in many cases. Usually, the weight of a heavy object generates a large friction force between the object and the floor it is resting on, making the movements of the object difficult and prone to cause undesirable marks on the floor.
- Also, small ornamental objects such as, for example, fragile porcelain trinkets displayed on a supporting surface such as a shelf need protection.
- In view of the above, there is a need to provide a new material, at low cost, which is easy to install and which is efficient in both reducing the friction between an object to be moved and the floor and in protecting small fragile trinkets.
- More specifically, the present invention relates to a glide comprising a layer of textile material having first and second opposite generally flat faces, and low friction material integrated to at least one of said first and second faces.
- It is to be noted that the term “integration” is to be construed, herein and in the appended claim as any combination of elements that enable all the elements to be present on the face of the combination. For example, the integration of a low friction material to a layer of textile material makes it possible to have both the textile fibers and the low friction material present at least on one face of the textile layer.
- The foregoing and other objects, advantages and features of the present invention will become more apparent upon reading of the following non-restrictive description of an illustrative embodiment thereof, given by way of example only with reference to the accompanying drawings.
- In the appended drawings:
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a non-woven synthetic textile sheet constructed in accordance with a first non-restrictive illustrative embodiment of the present invention; -
FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along section lines II-II ofFIG. 1 but showing only a fragmented portion thereof; -
FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the non-woven synthetic textile sheet according to an embodiment of the present invention as supplied in strip form and provided with an adhesive layer; -
FIG. 4 is a schematic side elevation view of a needle punching machine; -
FIG. 5 is a side elevation view showing a non-woven synthetic textile sheet constructed in accordance with a second non-restrictive illustrative embodiment of the present invention; and -
FIG. 6 is a side elevation view showing a non-woven synthetic textile sheet constructed in accordance with a third non-restrictive illustrative embodiment of the present invention. - Referring now to
FIG. 1 of the appended drawings, there is shown generally at 10 a sheet of textile glide according to a first non-restrictive, illustrative embodiment of the present invention. - The
sheet 10 includes alayer 11 of felt or mat and a layer of low friction material which, in the non-restrictive illustrative embodiment, is in the form of a Teflon™ coating 14. -
Layer 11 - The
layer 11 has a substantially uniform thickness of synthetic ornatural fibers 16 and definesopposite bottom 12 and top 13 faces. - The non-woven
synthetic fiber layer 11 can be constituted of any synthetic or natural fibers, for example polypropylene and/or polyester fibers. - The non-woven synthetic sheet material as herein described, may be fabricated by a standard process wherein polypropylene or polyester fibers of substantially equal length or variable lengths are introduced in the form of a fiber mat in a sheet forming machine wherein the fibers are deposited to form a fiber layer of a predetermined thickness and density. As a non-limitative example, the fibers may have lengths of ½ to 6 inches and a size between 0.5 and 20 deniers. At the outlet of the machine the fiber mat is subjected to a needle punching process and this may be made through a plurality of needle rolls. The thickness of the
layer 11 ofsynthetic fibers 16 is maintained homogeneous by this needle punching, not shown herein but well known to those of ordinary skill in the art, whereby the fibers intertwine together to maintain a homogeneous consistency. In this manner, thefiber layer 11 may be formed to be very pliable. - For example, the
fiber layer 11 as shown inFIGS. 1 and 2 may have a thickness in the range of from about 0.2 mm to 25 mm, and its weight can vary between 50 g/m2 to 2000 g/m2 but advantageously within the range of about 100 to 1500 g/m2. - Low Friction Layer
- According to the illustrative embodiment, a Teflon
™ coating 14, non-limitatively shown inFIGS. 1-3 as a Teflon™ film, is provided on thebottom face 12, for example by means of a further needle punch step whereby some of thefibers 16′, as shown inFIG. 2 , protrude through theorifices 15 formed in the Teflon™ film by the needle punching to thereby interconnect thefibers 16′ with the Teflon™ film. - During this further needle punch step, the
sheet 10 becomes more rigid due to the fact that fibers in the bottom portion of thefiber layer 11 are caused to rise through the orifices formed in the Teflon™ film to cause the film to be interconnected with this bottom portion of thelayer 11. - Adhesive Layer
- As shown in
FIG. 3 , thetop face 13 of thefiber layer 11 may be provided with an adhesive layer shown as a doubleadhesive tape 25 having anadhesive substrate 26 and arelease sheet 27. Obviously, in some instances, the use of the glide is made easier by the provision of theadhesive layer 26. - The cutting of the
sheet 10 can be done with scissors normally used for cutting carpeting or a sharp knife as is well known in the art. The cut portion of thesheet 10 can then be simply applied and adhered to a surface after having removed therelease sheet 27. -
FIG. 4 schematically illustrates the needle punching process that is used to join thelow friction layer 14 to thefelt layer 11. As can be seen from this figure, the low friction Teflon™ film is unrolled and brought into contact with thebottom face 12 before being needle punched through via thetop face 13. Once punched, thesheet 10 may be advanced (see arrow 28). - Turning now to
FIG. 5 of the appended drawings, a sheet oftextile glide 100 according to a second non-limitative illustrative embodiment will be described. - Contrary to the
sheet 10 illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3, thesheet 100 does not have a separate low friction layer. The low friction material is otherwise integrated with the layer of felt or mat. More specifically,fibers 102 of low friction material are mixed with thesynthetic fibers 104 of the felt or mat before the forming of thesheet 100. Accordingly, bothfaces - The proportion of low friction material fibers in the
sheet 100 may vary from about 0.5% to 100%. - Of course, an adhesive layer (not shown) can be secured to one of the
faces -
FIG. 6 of the appended drawings illustrates a sheet oftextile glide 200 according to a third non-limitative illustrative embodiment while it is being made. - The
sheet 200 is a feltmat 202 to which is integrated a Teflon™ based solution. The solution is contained in avessel 204 and sprayed, via anozzle 206, onto thebottom face 208 of thefelt mat 202. The feltmat 202 is supported by aconveyor 210 and moved at a predetermined speed (see arrow 212) thereby to spray the solution as a continuous process. - As can be seen from this figure, the solution penetrates and is thus integrated with the
felt mat 202 to yield thetextile glide sheet 200. The degree of penetration of the solution into the felt mat depends on many variables, such as, for example, the viscosity of the solution, the density of the mat, the flow rate of the solution, the speed of the conveyor. - Although the Teflon™ coating has been described hereinabove as being a Teflon™ film that is mounted to the fiber layer by needle punching, a Teflon™ solution that is sprayed onto a face of a felt mat or Teflon™ fibers that are meshed with the fiber layers, other types of low friction material integration could be used. For example, a Teflon™ film could be thermoformed, laminated, heat-sealed or die-stamped onto the bottom face of the fiber layer; Teflon™ resin could be applied to the
bottom face 12 of thefiber layer 11 and allowed to cure; Teflon™ fibers could form a distinct low friction mat that could be adhered or otherwise affixed to the bottom face of the fiber layer. Another possibility would be to manufacture a non-woven fiber layer where the fibers used are Teflon™ fibers. - Of course, any other suitable low friction material having adequate friction reducing properties could be used to replace Teflon™. An example of such a material is UHMW (Ultra High Molecular Weight).
- As will easily be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art, while the textile glide has been illustrated herein in sheet form, readily usable glides shapes such as circles of varying diameters could be made. One possible method is to punch-out these shapes from a sheet of the material described hereinabove.
- Although the present invention has been described hereinabove by way of an illustrative embodiment thereof, it can be modified at will, within the scope of the appended claims, without departing from the spirit and nature of the subject invention.
